Title: Treatment kit to assist in antibiotic therapy in intracellular infectious diseases
Inventor: HERNANDEZ PANDO ROGELIO
IPC: A61K38/19
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of immunomodulators in order to help with standard treatment against infectious diseases caused by facultative intracellular organisms. The invention is based on an analysis of the immune response established during said type of infections and, in particular, that produced by tuberculosis. Taking account of the aforementioned analysis, the invention consists in using a treatment kit associating a soluble betaglycan-type immunomodulator with an anti-inflammatory agent of the prostaglandin E-blocker type, which, when used together, modulate the immune response, thereby enabling the treatment time with respective antibiotics to be shortened.

Patent CA-2537641-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FORTMANIS TALIVALDIS
IPC: C02F1/12
Filed: 2006-02-21
Abstract: The water evaporation apparatus functions to increase the concentration strength of a contaminant solution. A blower conveys an air stream along an air-conduit, over a nozzle or atomizer. The atomizer converts the incoming dilutely-contaminated water into fine droplets, and inject and distributes the droplets into the airstream. An air-heater is located upstream of the atomizer, and heats the airstream to a temperature of 110°C at the atomizer. A droplet-collector receives the airstream, and the droplets, and mechanically extracts the liquid droplets from the airsteam. The airstream leaves the droplet-collector at 65°C in a saturated condition. The droplets coalesce, and become the final-water, compriusing the strongly concentrated contaminant solution. An exhaust-conduit conveys air that has passed through the droplet-collector to the air-outlet. A heat-exchanger transfers heat from the exhaust airstream into the intake airstream, to supplement the air-heater.

Abstract: An inkjet printer has ink channels extending through a body, each channel being offset relative to a central plane with respect to the adjacent channel.  A manifold extends through the body, intersecting each channel to define a channel end profile. The channel end profile of one channel is substantially a mirror image of the channel end profile of the adjacent channel, so that the acoustic wave refection coefficient of the boundary between each channel and the manifold is substantially equal for all channels. An inclined region of the channel end profile facilitates the formation of connecting tracks for the channel electrodes.

Patent CA-2544749-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STOUT JOHN
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: The invention is directed to a surgical instrument comprising an elongate tube extending along an axis including a camming rod and an actuation mechanism operably connected to the camming rod, the camming rod having a camming pin and a camming projection; a first jaw spine having a first cam slot, a first interior camming surface, and a first exterior camming surface; and a second jaw spine having a second cam slot, a second interior camming surface, and a second exterior camming surface, the second jaw spine pivotally connected to the first jaw spine at a common pivot pin operably connected to the elongate tube to open and close the jaw spines in response to movement of the actuation mechanism. The camming pin rides along the first and second interior camming surfaces and operates to close the jaw spines when the camming rod is moved proximally. When the camming rod moves distally, the camming projection rides on the first and second exterior camming surfaces formed on the proximal sides of the respective first and second jaw spines and operates to open the jaw spines. A feature of the invention is one camming surface on each jaw spine can facilitate closing the jaw spines while the other camming surface on each jaw spine can facilitate opening the jaw spines. These two camming surfaces on each jaw spine can be widely separated. The jaw spines can be formed of a metallic material and are overmolded with an atraumatic plastic material. By overmolding the plastic onto the metal spine, an atraumatic outer surface can be formed of the plastic material along with a high degree of detail.

Title: Method of playing a poker-type game
Inventor: PAOLINI GREG
IPC: A63F13/80
Filed: 2006-05-19
Abstract: There is provided a method of playing a poker-type game amongst a large number of players located at remote locations. The method includes the steps of dividing a standard 52--card deck into a reserve and a player deck, so that the reserve contains 16 randomly selected cards and the player deck contains the remaining 36 cards. Each player is then provided with a ticket showing two randomly selected cards from the player deck. Fictitious opponents are each provided with two randomly selected cards from the reserve, while five randomly selected cards from the reserve are used to form the community cards. As in Texas Hold'Em poker, the best 5-card poker hand for each player and each fictitious opponent is determined from amongst the two cards the 5 community cards. Two categories of prizes are awarded.  The first to players whose hands beat all fictitious opponents. If no player beats all fictitious opponents, then the second prize goes to the players with the best hands amongst all players participating in the game. Optionally, there may also be a "Bad Beat Jackpot"  for certain exceptionally good hands that do not beat all fictitious opponents.

Title: Apparatus for providing a sinusoidally amplitude-modulated operating voltage, lighting system and method for generating an amplitude-modulated voltage
Inventor: KAESTLE HERBERT
IPC: H05B41/26
Filed: 2006-06-15
Abstract: In the case of an apparatus for providing a sinusoidally amplitude-modulated operating voltage, two switches are arranged in the form of a half bridge, and an LC element is arranged downstream of the half bridge. The first switch is driven by a first square-wave signal in a clocking with the amplitude modulation frequency per clock cycle, and the second switch (QLOW) is driven by a second square-wave signal, which is shorter than the first signal, with a temporal offset with respect to the first signal in each clock cycle. The LC element (LMOD, CMOD) acts as a filter for the signal resulting from the driving of the switches at a connection point (K) between the switches and allows a DC voltage component and a sinusoidal component of the signal with the fundamental frequency of the clocking to pass through, but substantially filters out harmonics.

Abstract: A primary earth penetrating mandrel formed of a hollow shell steel plate octagonal in cross-section has an upper end and a blunt lower end joined by an upwardly and outwardly tapered wall. The mandrel is driven downwardly in the earth to simultaneously form a vertical tapered cavity while compacting the sidewall of the cavity to provide structural integrity. The mandrel is then moved upwardly from the bottom of the cavity and aggregate is deposited in the bottom of the cavity following which the mandrel is lowered so that its blunt lower end engages the deposited aggrega te and densifies the aggregate by vertical vibratory action and static force with these steps being repeated until the pier top is near the surface of the earth at which time t he upper aggregate portions are densified by either the primary mandrel or a secondar y mandrel having a substantially larger lower end surface than the lower end surface o f the primary mandrel. A second embodiment includes a conduit in the primary mandrel for injecting concrete or grout into aggregate previously deposited in the cavity.
